Welcome

An extraordinary Anchorage, Alaska retreat with easy year-round access!

Only twenty minutes on smooth main roads and a few signals from Anchorage International Airport to the majestic hillside community of Bear Valley and the 16½ acre home of Anchorage's Unique Guest Getaway — AAWESOME RETREAT!

Please note that the final mile of road to the property can be rough, especially during storms or winter — a four-wheel-drive vehicle is highly recommended for comfortable access.

Whether you're here for work or adventure, we invite you to make our peaceful mountain sanctuary your home away from home. Perfect for remote workers, our suites offer reliable WiFi, comfortable workspaces, and inspiring views to boost your productivity while surrounded by nature.

We are dog-friendly and offer convenient add-on pet boarding/sitting services so your furry companion can be well cared for during work travel or long days out.

Surroundings

A three-hundred foot soft incline driveway ushers you into our sprawling 16.5 acre property, with a large turnaround area and ample parking. Easy access year-round with the exception of
storms.

Guests may stroll easily along a nature path to our peaceful Pond Aawesome and Moosetrack Meadow, an expansive open valley with mountain views all around, natural landscaping and seasonal wildlife.

Our wetlands connect via a natural corridor to the Chugach ("Chew-gatch") mountain range, which is home to black bear and moose, many of whom visit Pond Aawesome and the surrounding Moosetrack Meadow.

Other wildlife includes a wanering woodpecker, porcupines, the occasional brown or black bear, the elusive and rarely-sighted lynx, and a variety of wild birds, including the high-soaring eagle.

Winter offers majestic fresh snow, ideal for cross-country skiing, making snow angels, snowshoe hiking and, energy-permitting, hiking up to the hill above the house for a fun run of skiing or snow boarding.

Labyrinth

The Chelsea Labyrinth was created to capture the rich experience of the
thirteenth century Gothic Cathedral designs.
Aawesome Retreat B&B has a 50 foot diameter labyrinth created from
rocks gathered around Alaska.
How about a meditative walk in the midnight sun?
